HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 322, 910, 609, 102 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 322, 910, 609, 102 is 1 the largest number which exactly divides all the numbers i.e. where the remainder is zero. Let us get into the working of this example.
Consider we have numbers 322, 910, 609, 102 and we need to find the HCF of these numbers. To do so, we need to choose the largest integer first and then as per Euclid's Division Lemma a = bq + r where 0 ≤ r ≤ b
Highest common factor (HCF) of 322, 910, 609, 102 is 1.
HCF(322, 910, 609, 102) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 322, 910, 609, 102 is 1.
Step 1: Since 910 > 322, we apply the division lemma to 910 and 322, to get
910 = 322 x 2 + 266
Step 2: Since the reminder 322 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 266 and 322, to get
322 = 266 x 1 + 56
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 266 and the new remainder 56, and apply the division lemma to get
266 = 56 x 4 + 42
We consider the new divisor 56 and the new remainder 42,and apply the division lemma to get
56 = 42 x 1 + 14
We consider the new divisor 42 and the new remainder 14,and apply the division lemma to get
42 = 14 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 14, the HCF of 322 and 910 is 14
Notice that 14 = HCF(42,14) = HCF(56,42) = HCF(266,56) = HCF(322,266) = HCF(910,322) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 609 > 14, we apply the division lemma to 609 and 14, to get
609 = 14 x 43 + 7
Step 2: Since the reminder 14 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 7 and 14, to get
14 = 7 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 7, the HCF of 14 and 609 is 7
Notice that 7 = HCF(14,7) = HCF(609,14) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 102 > 7, we apply the division lemma to 102 and 7, to get
102 = 7 x 14 + 4
Step 2: Since the reminder 7 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4 and 7, to get
7 = 4 x 1 + 3
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3, and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 7 and 102 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(7,4) = HCF(102,7) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
